S.C.PANNELL OLD MCDONALD Grenache 2023

The classic version of McLaren Vale Grenache - Romantic, old-world charm with a core of sweet fruit. Roses, lovage, woody herbs, leaf matter, cranberry and raspberry preserve. The primary aromas are red and loaded with tension: chorizo and sweet paprika again in 2023 followed by the signature blood orange, pomegranate and Turkish delight we've come to
expect from this vineyard.

Like a room full of balloons ready to be squeezed: potentially loud and brash on one hand but soft and pleasant to hold in the other. The textures promote the red fuits and now it's a large room with red ballons only. There's richness here but it maintains McLaren Vale grenache's natural medium-bodied nature

Bar Lourinha Chickpea & Spinach with Chorizo. We recommend decanting one hour before serving.

Many, many years of ageing potential, try 15+

"The fruit clings to tannins - like flesh to a cherry pip - without spilling out. Its a beautifully poised iteration of this cuvee, and just such a delight." Marcus Ellis - 97 points

Almost the purest, most refined release from Pannell's single vineyard range this year. Excellent. James Suckling
